Why GunTransfer

Everything You Need.
Nothing You Don't.

🔍

Full Background Check

We run a complete background check on every buyer before any transfer is completed. Sellers get documented proof the buyer was screened.

📄

Legally Sound Bill of Sale

A digitally signed, timestamped bill of sale is generated for every transfer — including both parties' information, firearm details, and serial number.

🔒

Lifetime Record Storage

Your transfer records are stored securely for life. If questions ever arise about a firearm you sold, you have proof — forever.

⚖️

Seller Protection

Without documentation, you have no proof a firearm left your possession. GunTransfer protects you from liability for everything that happens after you sell.

★★★★★
"I sold a pistol to a buddy and honestly didn't think twice about it. Then I heard about someone getting in trouble years later for a gun they sold privately. Now I use GunTransfer every time."
Mike R. Texas
★★★★★
"I'm a collector. I buy and sell constantly. Fifty bucks for a complete paper trail and background check is the cheapest insurance I've ever bought."
Dave S. Arizona
★★★★★
"The background check alone is worth it. I'm not a dealer — I don't know how to run a check on someone. GunTransfer makes it simple and the bill of sale is rock solid."

Questions

Common Questions

In most states, no. Private sales between residents don't require a licensed FFL dealer. However, some states (California, New York, Illinois, and others) require all transfers to go through an FFL. GunTransfer provides state-specific guidance and covers private transfers in non-FFL states.
The $50 covers a complete private gun transfer: full background check on the buyer, identity verification, a digitally signed bill of sale with firearm serial number and both parties' information, and lifetime secure storage of the transfer record.
No. GunTransfer does not access NICS directly and does not receive or store background check reports. We receive only the transfer status — approved or not approved. This design protects your privacy while ensuring the buyer is screened.
In strict states (California, New York, Illinois, etc.), all private transfers must go through a licensed FFL dealer. Use our FFL Finder to locate a licensed dealer near you who can process the transfer. GunTransfer still provides documentation and guidance for dealer-assisted transfers.
Because without documentation, you have no proof the gun left your possession on a specific date. If that firearm is ever used in a crime, lost, or stolen after the sale — you want a signed, timestamped record proving it was no longer yours. $50 is cheap liability insurance.
